Historic Honeymoon Cottage On Rexmere Pond

Our family loved spending time on the lake and on the back porch of this property, it was very private and quiet. The views from the back windows were stunning! The house had plenty of room for us and all the basic amenities we needed. The inside is fairly plain and some areas of the bedrooms/bathrooms looked like they needed updating, but we enjoyed staying in a historical home. The owners answered my questions promptly through the app and made check in/out very easy on us.

This is a wonderfully restored historic house. The photos don't do it justice. It is spacious, comfortable, clean, and has all that you need for a great stay. The owners are in town and responsive quickly (we had a car issue when leaving and the owner drove to the house to help us out so we didn't have to wait for the car mechanic to come). All the appliances are in good working order, there were plenty of linens and towels. The best part was the lake - kids fished and dogs had a great time swimming and then playing in the huge yard in front of the house. The town with restaurants and a well stocked supermarket is 5min drive and there is hiking around but we honestly barely left the property and grounds, it was so nice!

There is no value for what you get - it was cold; the heating was not on when we stayed. It felt like we were roughing it the whole time what with the kitchen being barely stocked with any cookware and lack of heating. What they had was the cheapest, lousiest cookware you could find - hardly felt like a "home away" where the owners themselves actually would live. There were spiderwebs everywhere and the house felt drafty all the time. I would have been more comfortable staying at my own home in the city.

We were upstate for a reunion and stayed with 6 adults. The house worked beautifully for our needs but would be great for a family also. The beautiful family room overlooks the lake and was a constant gathering place during our stay. The owners were very accomodating and accessible. We will definitely stay here in the future.
